Sequestered

And, uh, oh, the red eyes aren’t really red.

And it was just a fake.

It was just like a robot.

And I also had Doritos which were so good,

but they weren’t the hot ones, they were the awesome ones.

The original. And also barbecue--

That’s great, that’s great.

Could you just hold on for a second, tiger?

...Enjoying a 10 percent increase in approval rating

from the American people in the latest polls.

This will be a long night

and a lot of government services

appear poised to go away at least temporarily.

Aw, shit. Reporting live from Washington,

this is Brooke Oswald.

Excuse me, governor?

Governor?

Governor?

He thought you were so charming.

No, he didn’t. Mrs. Bennett.

Governor, I need a moment of your time.

Alone.

That’s all right. I’ll, um,

I’ll just head upstairs. It’s fine.

I’ll wait up. Thank you.

Good night, Wilson. Good night, ma’am.

What is it?

An Agent Breslow ran a face rec on a picture he received.

My guy with the feds intercepted him.

9 a.m., everyone! It’s consensus day, I can feel it!

Late night?

Early morning.

Uh-- Oh.

Hey, August.

I locked myself out. You locked yourself out?

I don’t have my shoes on. Ah, don’t beat yourself up.

It’s been a long five days.

Voilà. Oh.

Gotta find that key.

This it?

Oh. I don’t remember putting it there.

You don’t? No.

Well, let’s make sure this is yours.

Okay.

Oh.

Let me try. Sometimes you gotta wiggle it.

Oh, it’s not working. Can I try your master key?

Mm-hm.

Huh. I’ll tell you what.

I’ll go down to the front desk, and I’ll have them

check your door lock and reprogram your key.

Thanks. Hey, after all this is over,

maybe we should get together, you know, hang out.

Oh. Uh, yeah, maybe.

Uh, but I should get going. Oh, yeah, of course. Go, go.

We will talk later. Okay.

Stupid.

You sure about this? What if it’s nothing?

Could be a cell phone.

Or whatever she’s using to report our votes.

We’re doing this.

Hey. I know you. What was your name again?

Mwah. Hi.

These late nights are killing me.

I feel like I never see you except in the office.

How’s the Castille case going? Oh, it’s fine,

but I just got dumped with this asbestos case.

I have to go to Albuquerque for two days of depos.

That sounds horrible.

The asbestos or going to New Mexico?

Exactly.

Hey, um, I actually have to tell you something.

I got something I gotta tell you too.

Here. Okay.

You mind if I go first?

Yeah, sure, sure.

Um, I don’t know how to say this.

I lost your necklace.

I had it yesterday and when I went to shower this morning

I realized it was gone. I have no idea where it is.

I looked everywhere. I looked under the bed--

Hey, hey, hey. It’s okay.

It’s no big deal.

I’m so sorry. It meant so much to me.

No, I know. I know that. I’m gonna buy you another one.

No, that’s not what I meant. I just...

I just loved it so much.

It’s, you know-- Hey, it’s a necklace. It’s replaceable.

Thanks. Yeah.

So, what were you going to tell me?

Is that Pritchard? Yeah.

And that is the guy who beat up the juror

in the Malcolm Miller case. What?

And also the guy who, I believe,

killed Sophia Russo, made it look like an OD.

Oh, my God. Are you sure?

Yeah. My dad found him. Sent me that pic.

So, what’s Pritchard doing with him?

You think Pritchard is working with this guy?

Not with him, for him. I--I think there’s a reason

Pritchard took this case pro bono.

I think these guys are paying him to throw it.

No.

You really think--? So, what do we do?

Now it’s just theories and a picture.

It’s nothing concrete.

I don’t think we need to worry about it yet.

Maybe we should be worried.

You sat second chair on this case for him.

If he’s gonna throw it, maybe you’re his scapegoat.

How does he get Hot Shit Pritchard to be his defense?

I mean, this guy takes home like eight figures a year.

Pritchard worked pro bono. Duh.

Okay, duh. But was he really pro bono? I mean, really?

All right, let me ask you a question, okay?

The prosecution claims that Malcolm was this,

you know, freesoil91 guy ranting about the one percent,

but how do we know that Malcolm

and freesoil91 are the same guy?

Because Malcolm’s name is on the IP address.

That’s correct. Who else would be using his computer but him?

A cloned ID is easy to manufacture.

Exactly, but you can’t manufacture the timing.

I mean, why a month before the kidnapping, huh?

Oh, my God. You guys have been arguing in circles

for the last four days,

saying the same old shit over and over and over again.

Are you all retarded or just plain stupid?

You know, I vote for stupid with the exception of you.

Yeah. Now, all I care about is whether the defense proved to me

that Malcolm was innocent and they did not.

The problem is, Rufang,

that the defense doesn’t have to prove anything.

The burden of proof lies on the prosecution.

Yeah, well, not all ideals are applicable in the real life.

That totally makes sense, Ru-Ru. I think she’s right, guys.

I think he did it. Okay, well,

we’ll take whoever we can get.

Why don’t we take a vote?

All those for guilty?

And not guilty.

Closer. Still not there, but I’m confident that tomorrow--

Tomorrow, nothing.

The three stooges are not gonna change their minds.

This is a hung jury. Now, you tell the judge

and let’s all get on with the rest of our lives.

I’m just sick of this shit.

Can I get one of those?

I didn’t know you smoked. I don’t.

You’re looking at my first relapse in 20 years.

How many kids do you think get murdered out there every year?

Hundreds? Thousands? It’s a horrible world we live in.

We can’t even get to the truth of one of them.

We need a leader, not a nice guy.

You’re the foreman. You need to pull us together in there.

To hell with these things.

They’ll give you cancer.

Oh, my God.

Are you okay?

What’d they do to you? I’m fine.

Hey, Malcolm, you’ve seen a doctor, right?

Please tell me you’ve seen some--

I said I-I’m fine.

I just, uh-- I’m sorry.

You know? Mm-hm.

I don’t wanna start any--

I brought new photos.

He let you cut his hair. Yeah.

Everyone says he looks like you now.

He still won’t come with you?

Uh, it’s just hard for him.

The kids at school have been, um--

Honey, Luke loves you so much. He does. You know he does.

It’s just really hard for him to understand all of it.

Malcolm, please. Baby, I need you to be strong.

Stay with me. Stay positive.

Okay? You could be home tomorrow.

They could let you out of here.

You could be back with us very, very soon.

Okay?

Yeah.

Yeah. Dad, hey.

Any update? Well, I got some bad news.

Breslow wasn’t able to make an ID on the girl.

The photograph was too dark.

Shit. Um...

Get anything from following the big guy?

Well, mostly circles.

It’s the way these stakeouts go sometimes.

Hot for a minute, cold for a month.

It just takes some time. Right.
